Sealed 1978 Stereo Reissue. "This Score Album Represents Something Of The Quieter, More Contemplative Side Of Goldsmith's Music. Composed For A Poignant 1965 Film About The Gentle Friendship Between A Black Man (Sidney Poitier) And A Abused Blind White Girl (Elizabeth Hartman) And The Consequences Of That Friendship, The Score Relies Heavily On Piano, Harmonica And Flute, With Goldsmith's Music Having A Dark Quietude As Slow, Elegant Musical Figures Underscore The Plight Of The Friends And The Darkness Of The World Around Them. A Patch Of Blue Is A Lovely Score That Ought To Be Placed Amongst The Finest Work Of A Fine Career." Steven McDonald, AMG.
